As the girls celebrate the invitation to their friend's upcoming coronation, Sunset's horrified to find that she's not just selflessly happy for her best friend. If not princesshood, what's she meant to do with her life anyway? What's her destiny in the human world?

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

On a normal day, Twilight is curious to try a charm from an old scroll. What unfolds is a story of confusion. Just what did that charm do? Will Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity find out?

A short story and a silly mystery; can you catch what's off? Good luck!

A Pinkie Promise is a dangerous thing. There are Tartaran contracts that are less strictly enforced. Making one before your first cup of coffee is just asking for trouble.

With Hearth's Warming approaching, Applejack takes a moment to chat up a fellow vendor at the Ponyville market, and find what she thinks is a pony in need of a friend. But the holidays mean different things for different ponies, and some don't necessarily celebrate Hearth's Warming as Applejack does.

But it may be that there's still a way she can brighten up their holidays.
